Almost all phones these days have A2DP capability. I was pretty sure the New LINEA had A2DP capability, i'm surprised at your statement that it doesn't. The FIAT website doesn't speak about it but if you are sure i take back my statement since i have not driven the new LINEA.

I have tested this in 2 different new Lineas (a T-jet and a MultiJet).

About the upgrade in new Linea, it's just the HU and not Blue and Me. Blue and Me is supposed to provide A2DP profile. However, there are many websites falsely quoting (or speculated feature) Bluetooth streaming, which they must have misunderstood for Handsfree.

Even the advanced offering of BluenMe TomTom doesn't support Bluetooth streaming of music.

1. A2DP streaming on BnM. This has started becoming available even in cheap HUs, but FIAT being the first to bring in bluetooth connectivity on HU, not bringing in this feature is a huge let down. I dont think this is going to come in the near future since FIAT would plan on usnig the same unit acorss Punto and Avventura variants as well.

2. The flexibility to change tracks of USB from HU buttons and display of tracks in HU Display. I was hoping this will be an enhancement as well in the new linea. If this is also not possible in the new one, i dont think FIAT is thinking through the minds of an Indian family and conditions. Everytime, i plug the USB, if only the driver has control over what is playing, it isnt the best model for indian conditions. I dont know why FIAT needs to have USB media play only through BnM. there are several HUs that offer a USB direct interface !

Please use "BlueMe" for apple phones . the sound is not that great as it uses the phone mode to connect to the blue and me. the software is INR 250 on appstore but as of now yeah i can play audio directly through my phone.

if anyone needs a demo in Navi Mumbai , i would be obliged to provide one.
